My GF plays the TR4 levels and occasionally her computer will get hot, shut down, and when she tries to re-start it it gets to the black screen just before the log-on screen and hangs there.
I do the start-up repair program and it starts normally after that, but it has happened again. The only new thing she has been doing is playing TR4 but as Admin. I told her to make a limited account and play the game from there.
I'd like to know though, has anyone else had this problem?

now i cant translate what chillers are but i suppose u mean the heat fans on the CPU
and yes that can cause the problems
when u hare in there also dust off the the gpu fanhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FjToaUV5Tc
and actually a virus and trojan can also cause overheat

If there are many softwares which launches at startup of the PC of course the resources they use will not be available for the game, This can cause problems of slow (this is especially true if your computer is a bit outdated (old)). For my part, I have rarely seen a computer heated (to the point of cut) for those reasons. For the sake of ventilation is common!

You tell you more difficult without knowing the configuration of the PC.

Thank you for excusing the poverty of my English, sometimes I have me even the trouble to understand me... !

Her puter is fairly new. She got it last year. I have already used msconfig and shut off all un-needed start ups. Just the basic windows programs are starting up.
She does do Sorority Life and Frontierville and I was wondering if that stuff is interfering.
It doesn't always get too hot. Just occasionally.
Luckily she has the restore disk built into the puter.
